Sandbar Mitchell : Acquisition of a long forgotten B-25J

B-25J Sandbar Mitchell Restoration 

August 12 at 11:12pm · Edited ·

The Warbirds Of Glory Museum is excited to announce the acquisition of a long forgotten B-25J. Abandoned in Nome, Alaska during WWII, B-25J 44-28898 was one of many B-25s delivered to USSR under Roosevelt's Lend/Lease program. The USA ferried the aircraft as far as Fairbanks where the official hand-off would occur. The Russians then prepared it for the long journey from Fairbanks to the USSR, with a stop in Nome and then across the Bering Straits into Siberia.

B-25's during the Battle of the Bulge

The important role of the crews of the North American B-25 Mitchell of the Royal Air Force during the Battle of the Bulge is most of the time ignored. The Mitchell's boys smashed the German logistic centers during the battle. The flak was heavy.  Gaston Mertens was killed over Manderfeld on 1/13/1945. The missions were performed in awfully difficult circumstances but they did the job.   

Here are films where the RAF B-25's are show during these operations

Video: "B-25 : Mission to Rabaul - Nonstop action in the South West Pacific 1943"

Mission to Rabaul - Nonstop action in the South West Pacific 1943 by ZenosWarbirds "This is one of the all time classic documentaries to come out of World War 2 -- an action packed epic! I digitally restored the audio & video." Zeno, Zeno's Warbird Video Drive-In http://zenoswarbirdvideos.com See this film and more full screen on our "Rabaul Campaign" DVD bitly.com/WjYE40 Visit our aviation DVD store at http://www.zenosflightshop.com for the World's largest selection of World War 2 & vintage jet aircraft aviation videos Use coupon code "mustang" in your shopping cart to save an extra 15% off your first order! Rabaul, a large natural harbor on the eastern end of the huge Island of New Britain (located northeast of New Guinea in the Southwest Pacific) was an essential strategic linchpin for the Japanese from which they could project their forces throughout the region. They poured tens of thousands of troops, hundreds of airplanes, and thousands of tons of supplies and material into this base to make it a mighty fortress. The Allies' brilliant solution to the Rabaul conundrum was to isolate it, slowly starve it, and bypass it -- rather than assault it directly. This dramatic, high impact documentary film shows some of the most memorable, exciting, and extensive footage of 5th Air Force B-25G bombers conducting tree top level attacks with machine guns and delayed action bombs to come out of World War 2 .The first step in the reduction of Rabaul was the seizure of a string of Japanese bases along the Northeast coast of New Guinea. The film focuses on the decisive and revolutionary impact of the air component in the strategy, including high & low level attacks, parachute drops, and resupply, accompanied by a magnificent musical score drawn from Holst's "The Planets." You're literally sitting in the cockpit or in the tail gunners seat watching amazing low level attack runs. You'll also see P-38s, A-20s, B-25s and B-24 cooperating with US Australian and New Zealand Forces securing forward air bases to strike against Rabaul and for the invasion of New Britain. "Mission to Rabaul" shows how each piece of this classic strategy culminated inevitably in the first escorted, massed bomber strike on Rabaul on 12th October, 1943 an essential goal in the reduction of Japanese defenses. ©2014 YouTube, LLC 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066

Video: "How to Fly the North American B-25 "Mitchell" Medium Bomber (1944)"

How to Fly the North American B-25 "Mitchell" Medium Bomber (1944) by ZenosWarbirds "After watching Spencer Tracy roar off the deck in "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo," I became a B-25 fan!" Zeno, Zeno's Warbird Video Drive-In http://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com Don't miss our B-25 DVD with two more videos & 95-page B-25 pilot's manual: http://bit.ly/HUzHnT The Navy Department produced this North American B-25 pilot training film for use by all services. (Is that Tom Clancy at the controls?) Named after Billy Mitchell, the controversial pioneer of heavy bombing, this is the plane that Jimmy Doolittle chose to fly off the deck of carrier Hornet for the dramatic raid on Tokyo. Extremely versatile, the North American B-'25 was the US's most produced medium bomber, fighting in all theaters and exported to virtually all Allied air forces. An effective level bomber, it could also be equipped with a multitude of additional machine guns, rockets, and even a 75mm canon, for low level ground attack.
